This strain from Hornindal presents notes of apples and ripe fruits, with a hint of cloves and anise. The intensity is medium to high at elevated fermentation temperatures. At lower temperatures, it will be less intense, and you will get a pleasant and crispy beer, similar to a lager.
This kveik is a versatile yeast that allows for the brewing of various types of beers, including traditional farmhouse ales, stouts (and porters), IPAs, and many others. At low mashing temperatures, you will achieve high attenuation and a dry beer, with the cloves and anise aromas really coming through. Be imaginative, experiment with new recipes, and this yeast will not disappoint you.
The higher the fermentation temperature, the faster the fermentation. At the highest temperature, you can expect the beer to ferment in 48 hours. When fermentation is done at a lower temperature, you can expect the fermentation time to increase.
This strain is certified organic.
